Stringer replacement
2 Attachment(s)
Just finished removing the remains of the "wood" from my stringer. It was basically saturated with water.:eek: When I made the first cut with the die grinder I got sprayed. The water poured out the bottom cut.

oh boy...:(

I would never put wooden stringers in a boat , that is proof.

look at the + side, every minute you work on it means your a little closer to being done!

It seems that the main problem with this boat, is that none of the wood was sealed. Including the transom which was replaced. Also, all of the drain holes are drilled too high up in the bulkheads and stringers. So the water never fully drains out.

Coosa is great stuff. We've used it for stringers , bulkheads and even transoms. We now have a stringer mold that we lay up. Super strong AND WILL NEVER ROT!

Was gonna but wood back in, but I might look into that stuff. Looks good
